00:00:08These are all so good. I don't know how we're gonna decide.
00:00:12Brian? Are you okay?
00:00:14You haven't tried any of them.
00:00:21This one's my favorite.
00:00:23I'll go with the vanilla.
00:00:24Gina, it's my wedding so I will be making good decisions.
00:00:28I don't care where you insisted on coming today.
00:00:31When were you planning on telling her?
00:00:34Astrid, there's something I've been meaning to talk to you about.
00:00:37Ugh. Out with it, Brian.
00:00:42Astrid?
00:00:46I'm pregnant with Brian's baby.
00:00:51That is not funny.
00:00:52I hate to be the one to break it to you,
00:00:54but Brian and I will be getting married in a couple of weeks.
00:00:58Instead of you.
00:01:00So I'm assuming that you won't be needing a plus one.
00:01:07Astrid, I'm sorry.
00:01:11You're sorry?
00:01:14You're sorry?!
00:01:16Five years, Brian!
00:01:19Five years, down the drain!
00:01:21I've been paying your rent to help you with your business
00:01:24and I've been helping you with your mom when she's sick!
00:01:27Are you fucking kidding?!
00:01:28Oh my god, stop being so dramatic!
00:01:30Look, I already packed your shit from his apartment.
00:01:34It's at the dump, where you belong.
00:01:56Have fun eating cake, you two pieces of shit!
00:01:59Bitch!
00:02:00I've got something for them.
00:02:07Adam.
00:02:08I'll move my meeting to Monday.
00:02:09I'm out for the evening as of...
00:02:13Right now. Good night, Adam.
00:02:15Wait!
00:02:16Yeah, and he's gone.
00:02:18Good night!
00:02:22Did you know that if you only sash three out of four tires on a car,
00:02:25the insurance won't cover it?
00:02:26Oh, and I love cheese!
00:02:28I know this one place that has the most full of different cheeses
00:02:30from all over the world.
00:02:31Ryder, you would love it!
00:02:33We should go sometime.
00:02:34I'm lactose intolerant.
00:02:36What's lactose intolerant?
00:02:40Excuse me, I have to use the bathroom.
00:02:47Sir, Madame asked that I keep an eye on you
00:02:50in case you try to run away again.
00:02:52I appreciate that, Mason.
00:02:53But I'm just going to use the bathroom.
00:02:55Is that an issue?
00:02:57I'm not twelve.
00:02:58Is that an issue?
00:03:23I'm not twelve.
00:03:24No.
00:03:36Get the suit.
00:03:38Oh my God.
00:03:40It has to be worth like $10,000.
00:03:45She let more men strip me naked.
00:03:48Oh! Oh my god! Sorry!
00:03:53Astrid? It really is her.
00:04:03Hi.
00:04:04Hi.
00:04:06Can I walk you home?
00:04:09And she was horrified to see me.
00:04:12I guess that makes sense, considering she's my ex.
00:04:15And I was the one who broke her heart.
00:04:17Ryder?
00:04:19Ryder Van Woodsen, what the hell are you doing here?
00:04:24Ryder Van Woodsen, what the hell are you doing here?
00:04:30You're not Ryder.
00:04:32What?
00:04:32Sorry, oh my god.
00:04:34She doesn't recognize that it's me.
00:04:35You are just the spitting image of this evil ex of mine from high school.
00:04:39A little bit.
00:04:41But more buff.
00:04:42For sure.
00:04:43Oh my god.
00:04:44I've had enough drama for one day to have to deal with that old flame.
00:04:47He broke up with me randomly.
00:04:49Crushed me in two million.
00:04:49If only you knew the truth about why he broke up with me.
00:04:52I guess it wouldn't hurt to be a good old friendly Clyde for a little bit.
00:04:56She looks like she really is a friend.
00:04:57I'm sorry you had a horrible day on behalf of my apparently skinnier and less handsome doppelganger.
00:05:03Now for your drink.
00:05:05Yes, you're our godsend Clyde.
00:05:07Drink is exactly what I came here for.
00:05:10A Long Island, please.
00:05:13A Long Island coming right up.
00:05:15You know, speaking of dumb reasons to get dumped, I actually just got dumped like 15 minutes ago.
00:05:21Two weeks before our wedding.
00:05:23I was pregnant.
00:05:24You're pregnant.
00:05:26He dumped you because of a baby?
00:05:28No.
00:05:29He knocked out my stepsister.
00:05:30Oh my god.
00:05:33We've been together for five years and how much of that time was he pinning down my stepsister?
00:05:37I mean, am I so just worthless of a girlfriend?
00:05:42The man I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with.
00:05:46I've just been with my stepsister.
00:05:49That's a very weird tasting Long Island.
00:05:52That is the, uh, special.
00:05:55You know, maybe you're supposed to be with someone who actually wants to cherish you.
00:06:00Someone from the moment that they laid eyes on you, knew that you'd be the one for them.
00:06:07That is a horrible drink.
00:06:11No offense.
00:06:13Oh!
00:06:13That is hitting, so...
00:06:18Um...
00:06:19Hi!
00:06:19My baby!
00:06:22Oh, I just heard.
00:06:25Ryder.
00:06:27What are you doing here?
00:06:35I know.
00:06:37Very similar looking to Ryder.
00:06:40Clyde.
00:06:41Clyde.
00:06:42Adam.
00:06:42Adam.
00:06:43Clyde.
00:06:45Ryder.
00:06:46Ryder is this asshole CEO.
00:06:48He's got buckets and buns of money.
00:06:52Oh, buckets and buns, huh?
00:06:53He wouldn't need to be bartending to some drunk folk like us.
00:06:57Can I actually get another one in this place?
00:07:01Um...
00:07:01Yeah, my mistake.
00:07:03Right.
00:07:04Um...
00:07:04But how are you doing?
00:07:07Men are...
00:07:08stupid.
00:07:08You know?
00:07:09Just one too many you've had to deal with this evening.
00:07:17Since you asked, personally, I am peachy.
00:07:21I can see that.
00:07:23Honey Bunny, why don't we, um, get you home now, okay?
00:07:26And maybe let's stop sitting next to the man that looks like your ex, hmm?
00:07:32Before someone sees you.
00:07:34We should take a selfie.
00:07:35Can we?
00:07:36Can we?
00:07:36Clyde, come on.
00:07:37Pretend to be Ryder with you.
00:07:38Let's take a selfie.
00:07:39Come here.
00:07:43Alright.
00:07:44Time to go.
00:07:45Okay.
00:07:46Goodnight, Mr. D.
00:07:48Yeah, get your bag.
00:07:51I owe you one.
00:07:53Up to no good.
00:07:54You are.
00:07:55Sure.
00:07:56Alright, come on.
00:07:57Here we go.
00:08:02Okay, will you, will you just cross?
00:08:04Cross, but careful of the...
00:08:06Okay.
00:08:06Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright.
00:08:08Alright, alright, alright.
00:08:08It's good to see you one more time, Astrid.
00:08:11Hey, now we're welcome.
00:08:12Okay.
00:08:12If I could do that...
00:08:13Are you good?
00:08:13Are you good?
00:08:17I don't want you to have to stay with him any longer than is necessary, but...
00:08:20No, you are so right.
00:08:21Yes.
00:08:22I left.
00:08:28Of course!
00:08:29You could be here!
00:08:32The one place I have left is sleep.
00:08:34Why are you here?
00:08:36Well, I couldn't actually go to my ex-fiancee's place.
00:08:40No thanks to you, Gina.
00:08:42Some stepsister.
00:08:43You are.
00:08:45So...
00:08:46I actually had nowhere else to go.
00:08:48Oh.
00:08:48So you got kicked out of Brian's, and you come to my mom's place to sleep?
00:08:54Are you serious?
00:08:56I mean, go be a homeless bum somewhere else.
00:08:59Get out.
00:09:00You are no daughter of mine.
00:09:03You were an asshole to me, and you were an asshole to Brian.
00:09:07That's why he did not want anything to do with you.
00:09:10Luckily, Gina was able to keep his wealth in the family.
00:09:14No thanks to you.
00:09:15No.
00:09:16Really?
00:09:18Really?
00:09:19And my dad, who's been in the hospital, in and out for the last five years.
00:09:24Have either of you ever dared to lift a finger to try to help?
00:09:29No.
00:09:30I didn't think so.
00:09:32I'm going to bed.
00:09:34Oh, you are not sleeping here.
00:09:37Okay, I'm not sleeping here.
00:09:40It's not like I enjoy being in your presence.
00:09:45You'll probably get contaminated with whatever sticks up both your butts.
00:09:49Like mother, like daughter, right?
00:09:53You come into my house.
00:09:55You are under my roof.
00:09:56You will show me respect.
00:10:00Respect is earned.
00:10:03You've done nothing to earn my respect.
00:10:07Get out.
00:10:08I don't ever want to see you again.
00:10:14Oh, but you will see me again at Gina's grand wedding with my new man,
00:10:21who's actually richer than Brian.
00:10:24Oh, yeah, right.
00:10:26Like who?
00:10:28Oh.
00:10:30Ryder Van Woodson.
00:10:32Ryder Van Woodson.
00:10:37Okay, Ryder dumped you in high school.
00:10:40Why would he be interested in someone like you?
00:10:42You don't deserve someone like him.
00:10:45I guess you're just going to have to wait and see on your big day, Gina.
00:10:48Me and my hot new date.
00:10:51I'm going to go pack my shit and leave.
00:10:56How is that possible?
00:10:59Mom, Ryder Van Woodson, the heir of the Van Woodson group?
00:11:03I don't believe that little bitch.
00:11:13I have nowhere to go.
00:11:15Except maybe my dad's at the hospital, but that's a far walk.
00:11:19I have to convince Bart under Clyde to go with me as a rider to the wedding.
00:11:27Astrid, you are just full of great drunk ideas.
00:11:44Why are you here?
00:11:46Oh, good.
00:11:47You're home.
00:11:48I wanted to ask you, how was your date with little Miss Dolly?
00:11:50Spectacular.
00:11:52Really?
00:11:53No, Mom.
00:11:54I was being sarcastic.
00:11:55Then why don't you just say so?
00:11:57Would you please?
00:11:58Can you please just stop setting me up on these blind dates?
00:12:01Ryder, you know why I'm doing this.
00:12:04You need an heir.
00:12:05My head is throbbing, Mom.
00:12:07Did you take your medication today?
00:12:09No.
00:12:10Figures.
00:12:12So you're going to stop?
00:12:15No.
00:12:16We need someone capable to run the business.
00:12:19Okay?
00:12:19Just in case...
00:12:23In case I die?
00:12:31In case I die?
00:12:33I was going to say, in case you are no longer able to do it all alone.
00:12:41We did a number of tests on your son, Mrs. Van Woodson.
00:12:45And I'm sorry to inform you that Ryder has a brain tumor.
00:12:55Now, we can discuss some treatment options.
00:12:59At the moment, the cancer has taken over a portion of his brain that we don't feel is safe to
00:13:07operate.
00:13:08No.
00:13:10No.
00:13:23Ryder.
00:13:24Ryder.
00:13:25Ryder.
00:13:25Yeah?
00:13:26Well, don't you worry about me.
00:13:29I can handle it.
00:13:31Yeah, well...
00:13:35Ryder.
00:13:36Are you alright?
00:13:38Mm-hmm.
00:13:39Honey?
00:13:40Honey, are you alright?
00:13:42Oh.
00:13:43Yeah.
00:13:43Oh, oh, oh.
00:13:44We're having an episode, honey.
00:13:45We have to go to the hospital.
00:13:58Here.
00:14:01You doing okay?
00:14:03You wound in here very drunk last night.
00:14:08Ryan cheated on you, Gina.
00:14:11I'm so sorry, honey.
00:14:16Oh.
00:14:16Good morning, Half-Lung.
00:14:19I'm sorry, what did you just call my dad?
00:14:21So, there have been some changes with the insurance coverages on your dad's provided care.
00:14:27New doctor insight was needed.
00:14:28I'm sorry, you were telling me that you changed the doctor to someone that wasn't under our coverage so you
00:14:33could gouge more money from us?
00:14:34I am literally already homeless.
00:14:36What, are you taking another 10,000?
00:14:3850,000, most likely.
00:14:40And what I'm telling you is that if you're unhappy with the provided care here, you can find another hospital
00:14:46to bitch at.
00:15:02Adam.
00:15:03I need you to...
00:15:04Yes.
00:15:05Good morning, Adam.
00:15:07Okay, enough.
00:15:08I'll see you when I get in the office.
00:15:10Right now, I need you to listen to me.
00:15:14I slept at the hospital with my dad.
00:15:16Which is fine.
00:15:18It's obviously not sustainable.
00:15:22Yeah, I'd also really like to have a place in case he gets discharged.
00:15:26And to live.
00:15:28But, you know, I'd say you could stay at mine, but the in-laws have taken refuge here as well.
00:15:35You know, I might...
00:15:38Let me call you back.
00:15:39Okay.
00:15:45Hey.
00:15:45How do you know Astrid?
00:16:13How do you know Astrid?
00:16:16I know you two dated.
00:16:18I know you two dated.
00:16:18It's why I haven't told her I work for you.
00:16:22I just want to help her.
00:16:24That's all.
00:16:25She needed a friend.
00:16:26She has a friend.
00:16:28You, sir?
00:16:29Not a friend.
00:16:30You are an ex of hers who ripped out her heart and ate it for breakfast.
00:16:35I had no choice.
00:16:37We all make choices.
00:16:38And you had yours.
00:16:40Choice is an illusion.
00:16:42Now, back to what I was saying.
00:16:43She needs a place to stay, right?
00:16:45Okay.
00:16:59Moving in with a stranger who looks exactly like your ex is totally normal.
00:17:03Come on Astrid.
00:17:04I thought you could do this.
00:17:17Hey Astrid.
00:17:18He even sounds like him.
00:17:21Astrid?
00:17:22Yeah?
00:17:23Will you go to prom with me?
00:17:26Of course I will.
00:17:45Ryder.
00:17:46Sorry, Clyde.
00:17:48I called you Ryder again.
00:17:50It's okay.
00:17:51Come on in.
00:18:02Adam.
00:18:03I said you needed a roommate.
00:18:04I just happened to need one as well.
00:18:07Yeah, weird.
00:18:08Coincidence.
00:18:12Um, about the other night, I was very drunk.
00:18:16And I'm a bartender.
00:18:17Don't worry about it.
00:18:19I, uh, I actually prepped us some dinner.

00:36:40Gina is a very bright girl.
00:36:44But I don't think she's a great long-term fit for our company.
00:36:48And it's writer's wife.
00:36:49No, I mean, Gina is a bright girl.
00:36:53She has two doctorate degrees.
00:36:55She's volunteered at the local animal shelter.
00:36:59She even had an orphan recently asked if she would adopt her.
00:37:04Hmm.
00:37:06Well, I'll see what I can do to convince my son.
00:37:09That's wonderful.
00:37:10Wonderful.
00:37:11Thank you, Helen.
00:37:14Come, dear.
00:37:25You only get one chance at this and we are going to make sure you do not mess it up.
00:37:30You are going to give him a bottle of wine and show him the time of his life.
00:37:35You got that?
00:37:38What's in the wine?
00:37:39You are a clever girl, Gina.
00:37:43An aphrodisiac.
00:37:45He won't be able to resist you.
00:37:47You can't fail.
00:37:49Come on.
00:37:50We have to get everything ready.
00:38:18You wanted to see me?
00:38:19Yes.
00:38:22All right, Spill.
00:38:24I have an interested prospect.
00:38:27You remember Astrid Marie?
00:38:29My ex.
00:38:30You want me to date Astrid?
00:38:31No.
00:38:32Her stepmother contacted me about you dating her daughter.
00:38:35You went to school with her.
00:38:36Her name's...
00:38:37Gina.
00:38:38Yes.
00:38:39Well, she does have a suitable background that would...
00:38:43Ryder.
00:38:44I refuse.
00:38:46Ryder.
00:38:47No.
00:38:48We both know you're lucky you made it this far.
00:38:51We can't keep putting these things off.
00:38:56Sounds amazing.
00:38:57I'll be there soon.
00:38:59Okay.
00:39:00I'll feel it.
00:39:00Perfect.
00:39:05Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:39:07Please tell me these are the updated designs that you've been meaning to give me.
00:39:11Yes, I was just on my way to give them to you.
00:39:13Great, well let me see them when you're done fumbling like a fool on the ground.
00:39:29You really expect us to sell these?
00:39:32No, they're too expensive to make.
00:39:35No one's going to buy them.
00:39:36And honey, they're ugly.
00:39:39Make more.
00:39:40And if you don't get this right, you will be fired and you will never see another wedding dress for
00:39:44the rest of your useless, worthless, meaningless life.
00:39:47Are we clear?
00:39:48You have until noon tomorrow.
00:39:50I have a meeting with Ryder Van Woodsen and I want to show him the latest collection.
00:39:53So can we do that?
00:39:55And make sure that they're cheap.
00:39:57Okay?
00:39:58Great.
00:40:15What?
00:40:16What hat?
00:40:17Oh, hey Clyde.
00:40:19My boss didn't like any of my designs so if I want to keep my job, the same job that's
00:40:22been helping me support my dad, I need to get her an entirely new collection by tomorrow afternoon.
00:40:27These are really good.
00:40:28Really?
00:40:28Thanks.
00:40:30What is she looking for?
00:40:32Modern, sleek, and cheap.
00:40:34I guess that's what the infamous Ryder Van Woodsen wants to sell these days.
00:40:38My work is a vendor for his company so they make and sell the dresses we just designed them.
00:40:43What?
00:40:44Really?
00:40:45Yeah.
00:40:47She's making it work for the big man.
00:40:50My ex is my biggest client.
00:40:54He'll beat shit.
00:40:58That's fair.
00:41:03Could you be anymore last minute?
00:41:05He's already in the building.
00:41:14I said cheap.
00:41:15I don't know what about a three-tiered skirt and a layered bodice is cheap, but it's fine.
00:41:21We'll make it work.
00:41:22It'll do.
00:41:23Yeah.
00:41:27You can go.
00:41:28Okay.
00:41:29I saw that my job.
00:41:30Thank you, dear.
00:41:33You just got me my next promotion.
00:41:37Perfect.
00:41:38Alright.
00:41:39I'm only going to be about 30 minutes max.
00:41:40I want you to take these to the CEO while they're in my meeting with Fiona.
00:41:43You got it.
00:41:44If he has any questions about the proposal, just tell him I'll be up there shortly.
00:41:48Hey, Mr. Bossman.
00:41:49Your cover's about to be blown.
00:42:01Adam!
00:42:02What are you doing here?
00:42:05Hi.
00:42:06Clyde?
00:42:06Hi.
00:42:10Um...
00:42:12You know, my boss lent me his car for the day and I hired Clyde here to drive me to
00:42:17my meeting.
00:42:18Which I'm going to go to now.
00:42:21Thanks, Clyde.
00:42:23Have a good meeting.
00:42:24You got another job?
00:42:26Yeah.
00:42:27Just, you know, driving during the day and I'll bartend at night.
00:42:29A little extra side cash.
00:42:30Wow.
00:42:31That's great.
00:42:32You're busy.
00:42:33I thought you were Ryder Van Woodsen.
00:42:35He's here today.
00:42:35You know.
00:42:36That'd be crazy if you guys ran into each other.
00:42:38That would be very interesting.
00:42:40I mean, do you think I could pass as a Mr. Ryder Van Woodsen?
00:42:43I mean, maybe you could try.
00:42:44Hey, I gotta get these to Fiona before she fires me if it's not like negative 60 seconds,
00:42:48so I'll see you later.
00:42:49But, um, will we be a marathon tonight?
00:42:51Yeah, that sounds...
00:42:53That sounds great.
00:43:07Mr. Van Woodsen.
00:43:09Fiona.
00:43:11Good afternoon, everyone.
00:43:15So, I hear you had some new ideas you wanted to share with me and my company.
00:43:19Yes, I had some new product ideas that I think are going to drive so much in sales
00:43:22and you get 30% of the gross profit.
00:43:25This is a new and sleek collection that I'm debuting this season.
00:43:29I call it God Dress Apparel.
00:43:31Like, goddess.
00:43:40These are really good.
00:43:43You designed all of these?
00:43:44Oh, yes.
00:43:45This is all my original work.
00:43:46I worked very hard this quarter, so...
00:43:50Really?
00:43:51Yes.
00:43:53Well, then, uh, care to explain who Astrid Marie is?
00:44:01Astrid.
00:44:01Yes, of course.
00:44:04Um...
00:44:06Uh, that is, um...
00:44:09That's a pen name.
00:44:10A pen name?
00:44:11Yes, Mr. Van Woodsen.
00:44:12And you know artists use pen names, so...
00:44:15That's...
00:44:16That's...
00:44:16That's...
00:44:16That's...
00:44:16That's a pen name.
00:44:18A pen name?
00:44:18Well, Fiona Lynn.
00:44:21Unfortunately for you, I dated an Astrid Marie once.
00:44:24And I just happen to know that she works at this company under...
00:44:27Your Direct Management.
00:44:29So...
00:44:31Are you gonna give credit where credit is due?
00:44:33Or am I gonna have to report you for attempted plagiarism?
00:44:45And then my boss just walked out of her meeting, not a glance at my direction.
00:44:48She packed up all of her stuff and left.
00:44:49And then an hour later, I get an email saying that I'm offered her position,
00:44:53And that my designs were the top pick for Writer's Company.
00:44:57So you think you're gonna take it?
00:44:59I mean...
00:45:00Maybe.
00:45:01It's a pay raise, so it's a good deal.
00:45:04Also, I wanted to thank you for being very supportive with all of the explosion of chaos that I dumped
00:45:10on you.
00:45:11You know, I really needed the encouragement, so...
00:45:18You're welcome.
00:45:21Happy to help.
00:45:29How did you know that pink tulip was my favorite flower?
00:45:34What flower?
00:45:36The flower that you left yesterday with the note at breakfast?
00:45:41I mean, that wasn't a guess, was it?
00:45:44I just...
00:45:45I saw it and I thought of you.
00:45:48Do you like pink tulips?
00:45:51I do.
00:45:53You noticed.
00:45:55You noticed.
00:46:27Astrid is going to regret messing with us.
00:46:30Definitely.
00:46:31They both are.
00:46:46Hi, Writer.
00:46:49I have something for you.
00:46:59An apology.
00:47:01An apology?
00:47:03You are going to need to be much more specific while you're in my office.
00:47:06If that's all you have for an apology.
00:47:09Showing your face to me again.
00:47:10I know that I can be a pain sometimes.
00:47:14And I recognize that.
00:47:17And you know, I really don't want to be on bad terms with you, Writer.
00:47:22So please, if you'd accept this as a token, just one glass.
00:47:30I'm really sorry.
00:47:33Truly.
00:47:37Is that all?
00:47:40Was there something else you wanted me to say?
00:47:43Yes.
00:47:44I want you to apologize to your sister.
00:47:47She's the one that deserves it.
00:47:50Done.
00:47:54Here's your drink.
00:47:56And I'll go now.
00:48:03I'm really sorry, Writer.
00:48:05I'm really sorry, Writer.
00:48:14Psycho.
00:48:15I'm really sorry.
00:48:19She's the one that gets up.
00:48:20She's the one that takes care of her.
00:48:27I'm sorry.
00:48:27No, it's a long time.
00:48:29I'm sorry.
00:48:29It's a long time for you.
00:48:29I'm sorry, but I'm sorry.

01:07:37Yeah.
01:07:44You lied to me.
01:07:48Yeah.
01:07:49You lied to me.
01:07:53You were the one that paid off of my dad's debt.
01:07:58And you were the one that fired Fiona so that I would get promoted?
01:08:02And the flower and the apartment?
01:08:04Was that apartment even yours or was that a lie too?
01:08:07Listen.
01:08:07Listen, I was going to explain everything.
01:08:08Okay, just spare me any more lies.
01:08:11I trusted you.
01:08:15You're my ex, Ryder.
01:08:18My ex.
01:08:19You broke my heart.
01:08:21And then you, you wiggle your way back into my life for what?
01:08:25What?
01:08:25Some sick, twisted game?
01:08:27Some fantasy that you didn't get to fulfill?
01:08:30No, no, no.
01:08:30I'm not a toy, Ryder.
01:08:32I'm a person.
01:08:33No.
01:08:33With feelings.
01:08:35And you don't get to come in here and manipulate me just because you have the power to.
01:08:39Listen, I just wanted you to be happy.
01:08:40That's all I've ever wanted for you, Asher.
01:08:42Yeah.
01:08:43Manipulating me and lying behind my back.
01:08:45That was thrilling for me, Ryder.
01:08:49No, no.
01:08:50Don't touch me.
01:09:01Dad, she sent hitmen after me.
01:09:04This woman is psychotic.
01:09:05She tried to kill me.
01:09:07And then Ryder showed up, but Clyde is Ryder.
01:09:10Which I feel so dumb for not seeing literally the moment that I saw him.
01:09:14And I'm just angry.
01:09:16Like so angry.
01:09:18And Adam knew this whole time he's been working for Ryder and he didn't tell me.
01:09:22Wow.
01:09:23That's a lot.
01:09:26Yeah.
01:09:29Hmm.
01:09:31Yeah.
01:09:32What are you, what are you thinking?
01:09:35How do you feel?
01:09:37I don't know.
01:09:40Confused, I guess.
01:09:42Like why would Ryder break up with me just to come back into my life under a different name?
01:09:46That makes no sense.
01:09:48Hmm.
01:09:48Would talking to Adam maybe provide you with a little insight, maybe?
01:09:52I guess.
01:09:53But I'm mad at him.
01:09:55He was been working for Ryder this whole time and didn't tell me he knew.
01:09:59He may have a perfectly sound explanation.
01:10:02But if not, then leave.
01:10:04Find another nice place elsewhere.
01:10:08Yeah, I guess.
01:10:11Thanks, Jeff.
01:10:13I think I'm gonna come back here tonight if that's okay.
01:10:16I don't think I'll be going home.
01:10:19You're always welcome in my house.
01:10:22Thanks.
01:10:25Okay.
01:10:28Your wife is sick.
01:10:33Hey, yeah.
01:10:34I was wondering if you could look into something for me, please.
01:10:38Can you look up a Candace, Margaret, Diane?
01:10:44About your inquiry the other day, Mr. Van Woodson, Candace, Margaret, Diane does not exist.
01:10:49What?
01:10:49But we did find out some other information for you.
01:10:51No, are you serious?
01:10:55Oh.
01:11:17Hey, Adam.
01:11:18Can you come in here, please?
01:11:21Yeah.
01:11:24Can you, uh, can you just briefly in my last few meetings today?
01:11:29Ryder, you okay?
01:11:30Yeah.
01:11:32I think I'm just a little overworked.
01:11:34Ryder, you just got into the office.
01:11:39I did.
01:11:41Like three in the afternoon?
01:11:42Well, with the thing with Astrid?
01:11:45Astrid?
01:11:47Okay, I think maybe we're going to get you to the doctor.
01:11:49Something's not right with you.
01:11:51No.
01:11:53Hey, Ryder.
01:11:54We've got to go to my next meeting now.
01:11:59Ryder, what's going on?
01:12:00Ma'am, Ryder's confused.
01:12:01He hasn't remembered any of his morning.
01:12:04It's okay.
01:12:06What's going on?
01:12:06I don't know anything.
01:12:10Hey.
01:12:11Oh, Ryder.
01:12:12Okay.
01:12:13Okay.
01:12:14He's having an episode.
01:12:17We need to go to the ER now.
01:12:18Okay.
01:12:19Now.
01:12:19Call them now.
01:12:21Hang on.
01:12:22Hang on, Ryder.
01:12:23I'm going to be all right.
01:12:24Okay.
01:12:25Hang on.
01:12:26Hang on.
01:12:28Helen, what's happening to Ryder?
01:12:30He hasn't been taking his medication.
01:12:33Come on.
01:12:35Hurry.
01:12:40Adam?
01:12:42What are you doing here?
01:12:43Astrid, hey.
01:12:45Did you come back for Ryder?
01:12:47But no, I was visiting my dad.
01:12:50Is Ryder here?
01:12:51Did he follow me here?
01:12:53Oh.
01:12:54Oh?
01:12:56Oh, Adam?
01:12:57I need answers from you.
01:12:59Why is Ryder at the hospital?
01:13:01Astrid, he didn't...
01:13:03Okay, so what's going on?
01:13:09Ryder's been put in a medically induced coma.
01:13:12He's going into surgery.
01:13:14What?
01:13:15Why?
01:13:24He has a brain tumor, Astrid.
01:13:31We didn't realize it until he was about to graduate high school, around the same time that you two broke
01:13:37up.
01:13:38But his brain functioning has been affecting him since he was 13 years old.
01:13:44Memory loss, headaches, confusion, slow metabolism, medication problems, seizures.
01:13:53It's just been...
01:13:54It's been awful.
01:13:56Oh my god.
01:13:59So that's why...
01:14:01He had a brain tumor.
01:14:05He hasn't been capable...
01:14:07Of any long-term relationships.
01:14:13But...
01:14:16He loved you, Astrid.
01:14:20He still does.
01:14:25Yes.
01:14:26Will you wait for him?
01:14:29Will you wait...
01:14:30Till he wakes up?
01:14:32Yeah.
01:14:33When?
01:14:34If he wakes up?
01:14:38I'm sure he would love to see you.
01:14:41Yeah.
01:14:43Yeah, I'll be right here.
01:14:44Okay.
01:14:48Thank you so much for being here.
01:14:51Of course.
01:14:59I'm sorry, Red.
01:15:01For not telling you about Ryder.
01:15:04About him pretending to be Clyde and trying to get close to you.
01:15:09I was the one that instigated the roommate living situation.
01:15:16Fuck you, Adam.
01:15:19You should've told me.
01:15:30Do you know why he did it?
01:15:33Why he lied?
01:15:34I don't understand why you didn't just tell me.
01:15:36I could give you my best guess, but...
01:15:40I don't have the answer to that, either.
01:15:45You'll have to ask him.
01:15:47When he's out of surgery.
01:15:50If he's out of surgery.
01:15:52When?
01:15:56Have faith.
01:16:10Why?
01:16:11We're here.
01:16:12Honey, it's mommy.
01:16:15It's mommy, I'm here.
01:16:19I don't think I really believed it until right now.
01:16:30I'm so sorry for being so angry at you.
01:16:37I don't understand why you lied to me, but at this point it really doesn't matter.
01:16:45Just please come back.
01:17:01I think I'm going to see my dad.
01:17:03Really quick, he's just down the hall.
01:17:05Will you call me if you need anything?
01:17:07Okay, sweetheart.
01:17:09Thanks for being here.
01:17:10Of course.
01:17:41You're finally awake.
01:17:45What do you want?
01:17:48God, you're useless.
01:17:50You're just a waste of space.
01:17:53I've been trying to tell you for years to stay out of my way.
01:17:59And what do you consistently do?
01:18:02You get in my wake!
01:18:05You got Gina, my only chance at Ryder's Fortune, injuring my family in jail!
01:18:15It was you!
01:18:18You were the one that started the fire!
01:18:23Hey.
01:18:24You want me to go get something to eat?
01:18:27Okay.
01:18:40How is your boyfriend doing?
01:18:43I hear he has a little issue with his brain.
01:18:47A pesky little tumor, right?
01:18:50How did you know that?
01:18:51I have friends.
01:18:51Sure would be a shame if someone were to leak that the grand billionaire CEO of Van Woodson Fortune
01:18:58has been sick this entire time?
01:19:01Oh, what would that do to his business?
01:19:05What do you want?
01:19:08I get what I've always wanted.
01:19:11What you and your father could never give me, as much as I forced you both!
01:19:17Forced us?
01:19:18Ha!
01:19:20Who do you think introduced you to Ryder, sweetheart?
01:19:24That wasn't a chance meeting.
01:19:26I orchestrated it.
01:19:28Hoping that you or Gina would be smart enough to latch onto him!
01:19:32And all you had to do was keep him around!
01:19:35But you were so worthless he couldn't even stand to stay with you!
01:19:41But something changed.
01:19:42He came back to you!
01:19:44My luck changed!
01:19:47You've been after Ryder's business this whole time?
01:19:50I know potential when I see it.
01:19:53And you don't have it.
01:19:55So you set my house on fire to kill me?
01:19:58I always get what I want, don't I?
01:20:03Now, you are going to marry Ryder and give me the business shares.
01:20:09Or his business goes up in flames.
01:20:14Because if I can't have it, no one can.
01:20:29You're a psycho!
01:20:34And you're dead!
01:20:38So what's it gonna be, dear daughter?
01:20:44This should be an easy decision.
01:20:47You get to spend your life with the man of your dreams!
01:20:51Well, until he dies of cancer.
01:20:56Give me the money and the revenue!
01:21:00Or you die the way you were supposed to anyway.
01:21:05No.
01:21:08No.
01:21:09No.
01:21:10No!
01:21:11I would rather die than betray Ryder.
01:21:15He doesn't deserve it.
01:21:16I won't let you!
01:21:17Ah!
01:21:19Ah!
01:21:19Ah!
01:21:19Are you okay?
01:21:21Yeah.
01:21:21Yeah?
01:21:24The fuck?
01:21:26Why are you here?
01:21:28Phyllis Gray, you are wanted for murder, now attempted murder.
01:21:31How did you-
01:21:31I put the pieces together when you threatened Astrid at Gina's wedding.
01:21:34I hired a PI to look into you.
01:21:35That's your real name, isn't it?
01:21:36You're a sick woman jumping from family to family, destroying them from the inside out,
01:21:40just to get a little side cash.
01:21:42Huh?
01:21:42You have quite the record of fires starting in your homes.
01:21:45I did what I had to!
01:21:46To survive!
01:21:48It's-it's me and Gina against the world!
01:21:50What's a mother to do?
01:21:53You know-
01:22:01I thought we were gonna be a family.
01:22:02Now I know how wrong I was.
01:22:07Wait!
01:22:08Wait!
01:22:09No!
01:22:09No!
01:22:10No!
01:22:10Wait!
01:22:11We can come to some sort of an agreement!
01:22:13We don't ever have to see one another again!
01:22:15Please.
01:22:17Have fun in jail.
01:22:21Oh no!
01:22:22Oh no!
01:22:29Ryder.
01:22:30We're ready for your surgery.
01:22:40See you guys on the other side, huh?
01:22:45I love you.
01:22:49I'll see you guys soon.
01:22:51but I need a moment to talk with Astrid.
01:23:01We can talk when your surgery's over.
01:23:05You know I might not make it back.
01:23:09I owe you an explanation.
01:23:15I broke up with you because I didn't want you to be with a man who's going to be sick.
01:23:22Someone who'd forget things half the time, someone you'd have to support and take care of,
01:23:27someone who'd slowly lose themselves.
01:23:28I just...
01:23:31I didn't want that for you, Astrid.
01:23:36Then I saw you again and I thought, you know, one conversation canter.
01:23:44One more chance to help you fight and feel better.
01:23:50One more chance to hear your voice and to be around you.
01:23:59And then I heard about you needing a place to stay and your financial struggles and I thought...
01:24:07Well, if I could help you, I still can.
01:24:10Maybe that's a way I could be with you.
01:24:13Without actually being with you.
01:24:18That if I died, if this disease took me at the very least, I could die happy knowing that you
01:24:22were taken care of.
01:24:26And then I could just spend my last few days with you.
01:24:31I know it was selfishly.
01:24:34But I don't regret it.
01:24:39Every second with you has given me one more chance to hold on a little longer.
01:24:44You're not going anywhere.
01:24:45You're not going anywhere.
01:24:49Astrid.
01:24:52I have never loved anyone else.
01:24:55And you are it.
01:24:57And I'm so sorry for lying to you.
01:25:00I am.
01:25:01I am.
01:25:05But I don't regret it.
01:25:08Not one second.
01:25:10I do it all over again.
01:25:20I'm so sorry.
01:25:22I love you.
01:25:36I love you, sweetheart.
01:25:38Me too, Dad.
01:25:40What?
01:25:51I wish Ryder were here to see it.
01:25:54Who said I wasn't coming?
01:25:55Ryder!
01:25:56What are you doing here?
01:25:57I'm going to miss this for the world, business trippy Dan.
01:26:01I was actually wondering if I could steal her for a little bit.
01:26:04Sure, sure.
01:26:05Don't let me get in your way.
01:26:06I have something to show you out back.
01:26:08Okay.
01:26:14Astrid, there's not been a single day since I've met you that I've not thought about you.
01:26:19My love and adoration for you continues to be a shining light I hope I will always be able to
01:26:25see.
01:26:28Astrid, meeting you has been nothing short of divine, destiny, fate.
01:26:35Where I had to wish upon a star would be you that I see looking back at me.
01:26:40Astrid.
01:26:43Will you marry me?
01:26:45Yes!
01:26:47Yes!
01:26:48Yes!
01:26:50Yes!
01:26:51Yes!
01:26:53Yes!
